What TrustRail does not do

Security boundaries are useful only when their edges are visible. These limitations are part of the product contract, not legal footnotes.

Claim boundary

No sandbox-escape claim

TrustRail does not prevent a zero-day, kernel exploit, or arbitrary code execution inside an agent runtime.

Claim boundary

Decision mode is not prevention

Decision mode gates your code, running in your process, with your credentials still in it. A compromised process can bypass the SDK, and guidance text returned to a model constrains an adversarial agent not at all. Only Enforce mode, where the gateway holds the credential, bounds what an agent can do.

Claim boundary

No credential custody TrustRail never had

Enforce mode bounds actions using credentials TrustRail custodies. A credential the agent already holds, or one it finds, is outside that boundary entirely.

Claim boundary

No network magic

Egress enforcement holds only when customer networking makes the broker the sole route out and live readiness probes pass.

Claim boundary

No replacement for IAM or PAM

TrustRail consumes identities and credentials from those systems and governs consequential use above them.

Claim boundary

No replacement for EDR, CNAPP, WAF, or service mesh

Those systems detect hosts, workloads, applications, and networks. TrustRail governs agent authority and provider effects.

Claim boundary

No probabilistic authorization

Models may add evidence or tighten risk. They cannot override a deterministic deny or mandatory approval.

Claim boundary

No exactly-once fairy tale

Networked side effects cannot be transport-level exactly once. TrustRail reserves idempotently, records UNKNOWN, and reconciles against provider evidence.

Claim boundary

No automatic allowlist learning

Observe-mode destinations are proposals. Only a human may promote them, with expiry and audit evidence.

Claim boundary

No compliance certification by implication

Controls and evidence can support an audit. They do not make a customer compliant or represent SOC 2, ISO, regulatory, or penetration-test approval.

Claim boundary

No universal execution claim

DECISION_ONLY actions can be evaluated but are not executed by TrustRail. Only registry pairings with reviewed adapters are enforceable.

Claim boundary

No external-review fabrication

Internal tests, game days, and review documents remain internal evidence until a named independent party runs and signs its own assessment.
